Which texture of hair is more susceptible to darker, drabber results?

  1. Coarse texture

  2. Medium texture

  3. Fine texture

  4. All textures equally

The correct answer is: Fine texture

Fine textured hair is more susceptible to darker, drabber results because the hair strands are thinner and more delicate. Coarse textured hair is thicker and can withstand more color without appearing too dark or flat. Medium textured hair falls in between fine and coarse and may also be able to handle more color without the same dark, dull effect as fine hair. All textures can still achieve the desired result, but it is important to take into account the texture and thickness of the hair when selecting a hair color.
